Information for creating JDBC connections

Use default values when you create JDBC connections if specific values are not provided. For more information, see the application server documentation.

Note: If you are not using the default port setting for your database, make sure that you change it to the correct value.

  • Default port: 1433

  • Driver class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

  • Driver URL: jdbc:sqlserver://<your_db_host>[\\<named_instance>]:<your_db_port>;databaseName=<your_db_name>

  • Properties: Add user=<your_db_user_name>

Oracle

  • Driver: Other
